Clear or smoked side repeaters from ebay or vauxhall anywhere from £5-20
Newer bumpers - scrapyard, classifieds on here, ebay - £80+ depending on condition and colour .etc
Colour code stuff - bodyshop would charge anywhere from £200+ to respray all your plastics

I'd recommend asking some people in your region about garage recommendations tbh, they vary a lot and usually what you pay for is what you get
Try taking it to somewhere which does bodywork .etc but isn't for modified cars and they usually do a better job at a better price

yes it fades although you could always get a flame red and then have the entire car mopped by a bodyshop (around £60-100) and that wud even out the faded red

you really need to give it a good polish one's its done and then use some autoglym extra gloss protection.... it cant hurt to keep it regularly cleaned and waxed though

i like it clean dont get me wrong, but i'd rather only have to go over it with the jet wash for 10 minutes every weekend!
